I must first speak of the horses, white and immaculate.
The first image I saw was that of a foal,
with a coat of musty chalk, nestling in the dark grass.
The humble spirituality emanating from the foal,
bathed in exquisite light recalls
the cinematography of Robert Bresson,
specifically in Au Hazard Balthazar.
The handful of images I have seen all possess the same quality; with a
comprehension of the duality of the natural world,
with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seamless blend of innocence and cruelty.
For me these beautiful photographs suggest
the miracle of birth, the mystery of death
and the savagery of nature.

A NATURE

This book is born out of a desire.
To convey through images what cannot be named.
